Ingredients
- 1 large poblano or Anaheim chile pepper
- Corn oil
- 1 cup cleaned and chopped zucchini blossoms
- 1/2 cup diced zucchini
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen white corn
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 4 large flour tortillas used for burritos
- 6 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, crumbled
- Guacamole
- Pico de Gallo
Method
- Grill the chile over very hot coals or in a flame on top of the stove until blackened, about 10 minutes.
- Place in a paper bag and let steam for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Peel off the charred skin using your fingers or a sharp paring knife.
- Remove the seeds and coarsely chop the chile.
- Set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat.
- Add the blossoms, zucchini, corn, and peppers.
- Lower the heat to medium-high and saute several minutes until the vegetables are soft, then add the chicken stock.
- Cook several minutes more over medium-high heat until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Let cool to warm.
- To assemble the quesadilla, spread 1/2 cup of filling on one half side of a tortilla, keeping the filling within 1/4 inch from the edge.
- Sprinkle with some of the cheese.
- Fold the other half over to dose.
- Lightly brush the folded tortilla with a little oil.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Place quesadillas on a lightly oiled grill or grilling rack and cook, covered, over medium heat, about 45 seconds per side, just until the cheese has melted and the tortilla is lightly browned.
- To serve, cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Accompany with Guacamole and Pico de Gallo or your favorite spicy salsa.
